Mastercard announced an expanded partnership with Fiserv. Fiserv will become one of the first major payment processors to implement the Mastercard Agent Pay Acceptance Framework at scale. This collaboration aims to advance 'agentic commerce.'
The initiative enables AI agents to securely conduct transactions for consumers and businesses. To facilitate this new era of AI-driven payments, Fiserv will integrate Mastercard’s Secure Card on File solution.
The partnership builds on a framework Mastercard introduced in October 2025. This foundation ensures AI agents are properly registered and verified before transacting on the network, providing security and transparency.
The standardized method helps merchants of all sizes confidently participate in AI-driven commerce. It leverages tokenized transactions to reduce potential fraud. Reports noted no immediate market reaction.
